Nikky's "Recently" is about a speaker who is slowly coming out of a dark stretch and discovering that peace is possible. The word "recently" opens almost every line, which gives the poem a tentative, just-happened feel. Nothing is announced as a huge triumph. The speaker is simply noticing small changes: feeling okay, feeling calm, feeling loved, and realising that emotions don't all have to hurt.
What stands out is how unfamiliar these feelings seem. The speaker says love isn't something they're used to, and that calm is something their mind "doesn't know at all." Happiness is described as something they've looked for their whole life. Moving on, once frightening, now feels freeing.
The final line changes the poem's direction. All this progress is credited to "you," someone who has helped the speaker feel this way. The mood is gentle, hopeful and grateful, with a quiet disbelief that things are finally getting better.
